CNT's??? I wore them for the first 4 years of wearing khakis, (94-98),
but they have since been replaced by Poly-Wools, for about 5 years
now. While CNT's are still authorized, the newer poly-wools are much
more comfortable, they keep you warmer in cold weather and breath more
in hot weather, plus they are much more servicable, they are wash and
wear.

Here in Washington State, Navy Region Northwest has Service Dress Blues as
the service uniform from October through April. Summer Dress Whites (short
sleeves) from May through September. Service Dress Khakis (CNT's with
devices and ribbons) may be worn year round. Usually if you are standing
the duty or attending a function where coat and tie are appropriate, one
wears the blues or whites. Otherwise folks wear khakis. Through the early
90's working blues were authorized during the winter months, but with khakis
being authorized year round I don't see them as much. And of course,
everyone finds an excuse to wear cammies it seems - exaggeration but you get
the point.
